I get a crick in my back when I try to do anything that could be described as "sitting up straight".
Tentatively offered, but there are methods of physical luminosity (Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Cheng Hsin) which might be useful. They're all based on making the best use of the body you've got, and especially the first two are very clear about not fitting your body into a predetermined shape, but instead getting better access to your innate ability for self-organization.
You're the second person to recommend Alexander Technique; if I run into a non-expensive way to try it, I shall.
Not AT but something similar and free online vids is "Intuflow", for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsMPqP7hxRk
I've done a little with IntuFlow and it looks very good to me-- I intend to do more with it. However, it doesn't strike me as much like Alexander Technique.
Feldenkrais is the easiest one to check out cheaply because there are huge quantities of solo awareness through movement exercises available.
Somatics is good, and the whole book (except for the pictures, which may not be essential) is free at google books.
Ruthy Alon's Mindful Sponteneity is excellent-- only partially available online, but there should be enough for you to see whether you're interested.
